Fashion Bits: Austin Gets Creative

• Moxie and the Compound wants to wet your fashion whistle with its own Project Runway-inspired competition. Both Marques Harper and Stephen Moser mentioned they're judging the event. But who do you think promoted it better?

• Remember Factory People, the hip store on South Congress that closed this summer? Of course you do! They're still around, promoting parties and selling their shamelessly cool clothing online. But if you want to see Factory People's latest looks for birds and blokes for fall in 3D, don't miss the Pop Up Store, open from noon to "quite late" this Friday through Monday at their former location. (1325 South Congress)

• Austin designer Malissa Long recently won an international design sketch competition sponsored by BurdaStyle, an open source sewing blog. She's one of Alyson Fox's two pattern makers for her new collection. (By the way, check out Alyson's wicked new website featuring videos of models wearing sweet, fun and futuristic designs from her upcoming line, a small collection.)

• It seems like only yesterday when we wrote about Violet Rouge opening on South Lamar. Sadly, the cute cosmetics boutique is closing its doors on Saturday.
